Hello All,

I am the biggest fan of Table-top RPGs and my fav RPGs are the Palladium Rifts genres, Legend of the 5 Rings D&D genres, White Wolf World of Darkness genres, Marvel DC SuperVillain genres, etc.

In my above top four fav RPGs, there are all manner of rules for creating custom Old Ones Gods (Chaos or Otherwise).

I am not familiar with Warhammer 40K or Warhammer Fantasy at all but I am very interested in creating my own custom Old Ones Gods (Chaos or Otherwise) for my own custom Warhammer games.

But I can't find any canon rules in any Warhammer books relating to the creation of the most powerful beings in all of existences.

Maybe I didn't find the right Warhammer book to buy.

Can any one in here point out the canon Warhammer rules to me for me to create my own Custom Old Ones Gods in my own Warhammer games?

Thanks.

Off the top of my head the only way in the setting's metaphysics to "create" a Chaos God is to create a galaxy-spanning psychically-active civilization and then party so hard your core worlds implode into a giant Warp Rift. Then, due to the timeless nature of the Warp, your new Chaos God ripples back into the past and forward into the future such that they always have existed and will always exist.

But "rules"? Or "canon" ways to make new Chaos gods? Not really a thing.

Chaos gods are too powerful to enter realspace where WH40k battles take place. You will instead want to create a Daemon Character, possibly one favoured by one of the existing gods, one that is favoured by several gods or has a past of being favoured by one god but is now favoured by a different one or one that stands on his own owing fealty to none. The best place to start would be with the Daemon Prince datasheet, next step is changing keywords, next you can change the characteristics of the datasheet, now you add or subtract from the abilities of your custom Daemon and finally you decide on a power level and a pts cost for the altered datasheet.

If you want to create a Chaos god that perhaps cannot enter realspace but can affect it or is served by Chaos Cultists like the official four Chaos gods you can create new Stratagems, Warlord traits and Relics for your god. Now you decide on a keyword that can replace the allegiance that Chaos units serve to one of the Chaos gods with your new god.
